The Veterans English Table Tennis Society (VETTS) held the North West Masters tournament in the Tom Finney Sports Centre in Preston on the weekend of the 16th and 17th of March 2024.
A number of Ashford TTC members packed their suitcases and made the long journey by car and train (the three Amigos) to participate in the tournament.
These members (8 in total) were, in no particular order, as follows:
- Tony Needham
- Graham Outrim
- Syd Montgomery
- Sarah Horsnell
- Percy Collino
- Michael Silver
- Rupert Bole
- Sujay Jagannathan
Ashford members were in the later stages or winning medals in their respective age competitions.
Notable performances were as follows:
- Sujay reached the semi-finals of the open mixed event partnering Tumay Ekrem from Middlesex.
- Percy “The Wall” Collino won a silver medal (to add to his gold from Norwich) as runner up in the over-60 singles
- Percy also partnered club mate Rupert and won gold medals by winning the over-60 doubles. They were arguably the tallest doubles team in the competition.
- Sarah partnered with Steve “The Wall 2” Horton and won a silver medal as runners up in the over-40 mixed doubles.
- Tony “Formidable” Needham won a silver medal in the over-70 singles. He also reached the semi-final in the over-75 singles.
- Syd “Steak and Kidney” Montgomery reached the final of the over-80 singles losing to the number one seed.
So, overall, there were a number of excellent performances from Ashford players. Congratulations to everyone who did particularly well and all those Ashford members who also participated.
